An Invitation to Seashell Bay
Description
'A lovely sunshiney story, bursting with wit and joy' - Bestselling author MILLY JOHNSON The brand-new summery rom com from Bella Osborne, full of laughter, love and life's twists and turns! This is the first part of a new feel-good romantic comedy, published as a four-part serialised novel. One ambitious businesswoman. One irresponsible heir. A deal that will turn both their lives upside down… To save her business, All Things Crafty, Nancy is in desperate need of two things: help and money. After a pitch goes horribly wrong, Nancy is convinced she's failed to secure either. But, when a potential investor recommends an assistant, she jumps at the chance to hire them - hoping it will help her land a much-needed deal. Enter Freddy Astley-Davenport, a notorious socialite with zero work experience. He's poised to inherit his family's estate in sunny Seashell Bay, but only if he can hold down a job for six months first. Nancy is not impressed. Freddy's late, rude and totally incompetent - and that's just the first day! Nancy is further horrified to learn of Freddy's plan to take the assistant role in name only, then do the least work he possibly can, expecting Nancy to lie to his parents on his behalf. She has other ideas, though, and the pair butt heads from day one. However, as they argue, sparks begin to fly… An absolutely escapist, funny, feel-good summer romance. Fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson will adore Bella Osborne.
